Numbers Matching SELLER REMARKS The last of the big Healeys. this 1965 BJ8 Mark 3 is a wonderfully maintained 3-owner car that also happens to be the most desirable of the bunch. Finished in a traditional color combination that sparkles. as well as a gorgeous interior. it offers more than $7500 worth of recent maintenance and a known history dating back to day one. There's no more appropriate color on a big Healey than Healey Blue. although this one was originally British Racing Green. which might be a close second. Color swapped in '67. and the repainted again about ten years ago. this big roadster still looks great with only minor signs of use. which it wears like badges of honor. A long life down in Atlanta means that the usual rust demons were kept at bay with this one and it's one of those rare cars that has been properly maintained all its life and therefore never needed a full frame-off restoration. Clean bodywork has factory-style gaps and great panel alignment so it looks properly assembled and the way it feels is unique to cars that have never been torn apart. Healeys have always projected an aura of power and refinement. and this one is no different. hunkering on its haunches like a cat about to spring. it's every bit as entertaining to drive as it looks. Chrome and brightwork are excellent. including the lovely Healey grille. bumpers. and all the badges that adorn the car. And you'll love the details that come with these cars. from the lovely mirrors mounted on the front "wings" to the individual Lucas marker lights out back in their own pods. Gorgeous is the only way to describe the inviting and nicely patina'd interior. With leather surfaces in dark blue and black. it's a subtle combination that complements the bodywork extremely well. The Healey's longer wheelbase allows two small rear seats. and while they're best reserved for children or luggage. they are no less carefully stitched than the front buckets. New carpets were fitted and the hand-crafted door panels offer utility as well as style with deep storage pockets. The original Smiths gauges are in good condition. with the tach. oil pressure. and water temperature gauges have been recently rebuilt. and the steering wheel is a correct wood-rimmed unit. A dark blue folding top has been installed. and it includes matching black boot to keep things looking tidy when it's stowed. and roll-up windows were finally standard equipment with the BJ8. The trunk isn't exactly spacious. but does include a full-sized spare and matching wire wheel. which is nice. The BJ8 is powered by a 2. 9 liter inline-six rated at a relatively brawny 150 horsepower. which provides entertaining performance in the lightweight roadster. Faithfully restored in Austin's peculiar shade of metallic light green. the engine rumbles to life easily. inhaling through twin SU carburetors and emitting the most wonderful baritone roar at full throttle. The engine bay has been neatly detailed with a great many period-correct components. and the list of recent work includes rebuilt windshield wipers. new brake system. re-cored radiator. rebuilt carburetors. and a modern spin-on oil filter conversion. A stainless exhaust system provides that wonderful big Healey exhaust note and you'll relish running it through the gears of the 4-speed manual transmission. Chrome wheels complete the period look. and it wears suitably skinny blackwall radials that look right. Big Healeys are all about driving. and this one with its fully sorted mechanics and gorgeous bodywork is a first-class ticket in true British fashion.
